    Dammit, I'm mad!

    I used this at work one day and my Commanding Officer actually realized it was a palindrome. (I guess he's pretty smart!)

    Palindromes date back at least to 79 A.D., as the palindromic Latin word square "Sator Arepo Tenet Opera Rotas" was found as a graffito at Herculaneum, buried by ash in that year. This palindrome is remarkable for the fact that it also reproduces itself if one forms a word from the first letters, then the second letters and so forth. Hence it can be arranged into a word square that reads in four different ways: horizontally or vertically from top left to bottom right orpoertically from bottom right to top left. While some sources translate this as "The sower Arepo holds the wheels at work", translation is problematic as the word arepo is otherwise unknown; the square may have been a coded Christian signifier,[citation needed] with TENET forming a cross.

    Doppelgänger by James A. Lindon

    Entering the lonely house with my wife
    I saw him for the first time
    Peering furtively from behind a bush –
    Blackness that moved,
    A shape amid the shadows,
    A momentary glimpse of gleaming eyes
    Revealed in the ragged moon.
    A closer look (he seemed to turn) might have
    Put him to flight forever –
    I dared not
    (For reasons that I failed to understand),
    Though I knew I should act at once.

    I puzzled over it, hiding alone,
    Watching the woman as she neared the gate.
    He came, and I saw him crouching
    Night after night.
    Night after night
    He came, and I saw him crouching,
    Watching the woman as she neared the gate.

    I puzzled over it, hiding alone –
    Though I knew I should act at once,
    For reasons that I failed to understand
    I dared not
    Put him to flight forever.

    A closer look (he seemed to turn) might have
    Revealed in the ragged moon.
    A momentary glimpse of gleaming eyes
    A shape amid the shadows,
    Blackness that moved.

    Peering furtively from behind a bush,
    I saw him for the first time,
    Entering the lonely house with my wife.
